Gorgeous little Laurel is one of my First Year Package clients and it was so nice to see her at 6 months old!! She is such a beautiful little girl with those blue eyes and her mama chose outfits to accent them perfectly! Some of the details we try to capture at this stage are any little teeth poking through, if they’re able to sit unassisted, chubby baby thighs and cheeks, of course lots of smiles! The 6 month milestone is easily one of my favorite type of sessions.
Sometimes I get last minute inquiries. Moms who have had a lot on their plates (like multiple kids already – which I totally get with two of my own!) and think it might be too late for newborn photos. But that’s hardly ever the case. Please don’t be shy to inquire with a newborn photographer, even if you’re baby is coming really soon or already here. We’re usually able to work some magic and get beautiful shots no matter what! Every family and birth story is different, and that’s why my schedule remains flexible to accommodate whether baby comes early, late, or needs extra time before coming home.
This sweet family contacted me a week after their youngest arrived, and I’m so glad they did. We were able to get them in for a Newborn Complete session and got some really gorgeous images of them all! Congrats again to this family of FIVE!
Check out this sweet family of FOUR’s session from last month! Aren’t they all just adorable? I have been photographing big sister since she was a newborn and it was so exciting to meet their latest member of the family, baby Owen! Mom requested soft blues and grays to match the dusty pink from big sister, and I think we nailed it! She also brought in the sweetest little bear hat for him (as seen below) You are always welcome to bring in sentimental or special items you’d like to incorporate into your photo session, but of course don’t have to as my studio is full of props to make your photos unique!
This was a very unique and special family session for my repeat clients, the G family. It was the first time I got to meet the newest member of their beautiful family and we had so much fun catching up during the session! Despite a long winter and the fact nothing was green yet, it was important to capture this exact moment in time for the G family and focus on their strong family connection and all the love they share with each other. We chose a sweet location with glittering sunlight and a stream in the background which I’ve only previously shot during Summer. I love the soft brown tones in these images along with mom’s dusty rose and blue color palette – everything came together perfectly for their session and I know they’ll cherish these images for a lifetime.
At the end of a session, I always ask the parents if they’d like to be in some of the photos with just the two of them. I find them to be so rewarding and something that parent’s often overlook until pointed out. And after all, it’s how your family began! (And I promise, they’ll be way prettier than the typical prom pose images from high school, haha!)
Last year, my sweet husband built a wooden heart prop for our daughter’s Valentine’s Day session. We sat her inside it for the photos, so I thought it would be fun to take some “same but different” comparison shots again this Valentine’s Day. I used the heart of course and then switched up the background and set. She did fit in it, but barely as she’s really tall for her age. (She turned 2 in September) 🙂 It was a short but sweet session and I’m so in love with how the photos turned out! You can definitely see so much of her personality (this girl is full of expressions, let me tell you!) She loves wearing “princess dresses”, smiling with her hands up by her cheeks, and of course occasionally pouting to get her way!
As you may have noticed, I rarely blog. I think my last one was from over a year ago – yikes. When we found out we were having our daughter, she became my top priority (besides our son) and that hasn’t slowed down at all in the past couple of years. While I’m still photographing plenty of clients and eternally grateful for the repeat clients, referrals and Google SEO, I very rarely find time to write posts or bother with the marketing aspects of posting on social media (my Facebook page is dead, too, ha). That’s okay for me, though, as I prefer to keep my business part-time so I can give each client the expertise and experience they deserve while still maintaining a healthy work/home balance. I am however going to try to share more cute photos on my blog since there are so many good ones taken every year! And if you’re ready to book a session for your own family, please just click the “Contact” button and I’ll get back to you soon even if it looks like I’m sleeping on the job over here… I’m not, promise. 🙂
